Christmas Card Swap #3

Here is card #3 from the Christmas Card swap I participated in at Convention.  You'll have to pull out your sewing machine, but its easy - just set your stitch guide to zig-zag (the zig-zaggier the better!) and stitch straight across the card!

Here are the supplies you need:

Merry & Type stamp set; Very Vanilla card stock; Cherry Cobbler classic ink, craft spot, card stock, EP, 1-1/4” striped grosgrain ribbon; Iridescent Ice EP; Silver Fox smooch; Basic Rhinestones; Sticky Strip

Here are the directions: 

Mix equal amounts of Iridescent Ice and Cherry Cobbler EPs in a stampin' store container. 

Stamp Ornament in Cherry Cobbler craft ink and emboss. 

Place a strip of sticky strip across top of very vanilla card front.  Place ends of 8” piece of Cherry Cobbler ribbon on edges of card.  Press ribbon down in various spots and then zigzag stitch ribbon to card. 

Stamp Merry & Bright on bottom corner of vanilla piece.  Adhere to Cherry Cobbler card. 

Paint ornament hangars with smooch and adhere rhinestone.
